Awesome work doggatas -- the first time up that 15% pinch I don't find it too bad... but by #3 a lot of willpower is needed to keep powering up it for sure If I hadn't publicly set the 5X challenge, I would have turned around after #3 myself. Note to self: better go and check the next post in the series to make sure I haven't made any other silly challenges...

The next episode is now online: Strickland Ave. Your challenge in this episode is to beat the KOM by Andrew Crawley of 10:48 - Brewery to the top of Strickland Ave, that's an average speed of 25.4 km/h. Should be a piece of cake.

I've just gone and updated each post with a specific challenge. Some of them were already hinted at in this thread... Some of the challenges are achievable by mere mortals, others ... not so much. Which can you do?

Your anaerobic threshold, is 84-90% of your maximum heart rate, not your red zone, Zone 6 94-100% of your heart rate would the red zone and you only last very very short periods, 2-3 seconds in this zone, the red zone. Maybe change to riding in your anaerobic threshold zone..
